Iterations

We built vAirify in an iterative manner, adding a small bit at a time so that we could get feedback and quickly incorporate that feedback.

The following is how the product was built up, with the higher priority features being added first. Suggestions for future development are included at the bottom.

Iteration	Label	Description	Status
1	Backend	Forecast and in-situ data loaded into a database	Done
2	First AQI graphs	Summary page and city view (graphs of AQI figures only, for the last 5 days)	Done
3	Target hardware	vAirify running on the target hardware for real usage	Done
4	Pollutants	Addition of graphs for individual pollutants	Done
5	Stations	Addition of graphs for individual monitoring stations	Done
6	Deselection	Ability to deselect monitoring stations	Done
7	Map view	Incorporation of a city map view	Done
8	Forecast length	Ability to choose forecast window i.e. let them change the end date of the forecast comparisons	Done
---	---	Future iterations	---
9	Map view	Incorporation of a global map view	In Progress
10	Public use	Something that is available to the general public (e.g. something the ECMWF Press Office could point people to, or something to support the joint EUMETSAT / ESA / ECMWF training course in September)
11	Historical data	Ability to see a month of historical data	In Progress
12	Forecast length	Ability to choose forecast window of zero (T=0, which is observation data only)
13	Other data sources	Addition of data sources such as AQICN, Purple Air and ECMWF sources (including ECMWF regional forecasts)
